WM. HAWLEY SMITH'S LECTURE. I
It Was Greatly Enjoyed by an Apprecia- I
tire Audience. 9
Though but briefly advertised , a fair I
sized audience greeted William Ilawley B
Smith < in the Menard opera hall , „
Saturday : evening , to hear his popular
lecture ] on "What to Read and How to 9
Read ] it" Hand
. The gentleman is a lecturer
and reader who has few , if any , superiors H
in i this country , and it is putting it mildly - H
ly 1 to say that he entertained , instructed H
and de-lighted all. He read for the most H
part 1 from James Whitcomb Riley's writings - H
ings i , ( which he regards as preeminently H
worth while ) , and gave his hearers a H
most felicitous taste of that prince of H
dialect writers. Mr. Smith is a thoughtful - H
ful , forceful man and drops many gems M
of goodsensible advice , all along through H
his entertainment , which is also replete , H
brim-full and runuing over with humor M
that is not of an offensive sort , and has H
an admixture of wholesome philosophy H
as well. M
A warm welcome awaits him should H
he ever come this way again. He is worth M
while , and then some. 1
